Financial Aid Timeline

Financial aid is determined on a yearly basis; therefore, families must apply for financial aid each year.

The calendar continues through the cycle for returning students.

  • Students whose FAFSA is selected by the federal government to complete a process called Verification will be required to submit additional documents to the Financial Aid Office.
